I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. Those fixes like in comment #19 don't work when you upload the video to a site like Youtube. Converting the ogv to mkv first or avi first doesn't fix the issue.
There are many examples on youtube of videos that didn't convert because of this issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPiRak0aDAQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ9L6kk_vPU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wIsJLWZPco On this youtube support page someone suggested that youtube might have an out of date version of ffmpeg or theora or whatever: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=7b9148c46c6b6f90&hl=en&fid=7b9148c46c6b6f90000484c1f228af9a Is there anyway to down-convert an ogv file created by gtk- recordmydesktop (or cheese or whatever) to an older version of theora or whatever so that youtube can properly convert it and display it? Or is there a ppa for the older version of theora or whatever. -- fails to playback ogv produced by recordmydesktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305286 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
